The difference a Philips Air Humidifier can make.

Home heaters make our homes warm and comfortable, but they also dry up the air. The Philips Air Humidifier helps maintain the ideal humidity level at home and its unique technology makes sure there is you breathe more comfortable air. But before you breathe the difference, it’s always good to know the difference.

A Philips Air Humidifier combats dry air by adding moisture to indoor air.

What are the benefits of a Philips Air Humidifier?

You can enjoy the warmth of your heater without its side-effect of dry air.

Living in optimally humidised air makes breathing more comfortable for better sleep

It improves the vitality and appearance of your skin, lips and hair.

And the biggest benefit of the Philips Air Humidifier is its unique NanoCloud technology - a safe way to humidify the air with 99% less bacteria spreading versus ultrasonic humidifiers.*

* Compared to standard ultrasonic technology (non warm mist), Philips Nanocloud technology emits up to 99% less natural bacteria into the air, as tested for 8 weeks in a 1m³ chamber, and certified in an independent laboratory benchmark study by Rabe HygieneConsult in June 2012 (Rabe Hygiene Consult 2101p_12.116).

What is Philips NanoCloud Technology?

Philips NanoCloud is a unique humidification technology that maintains comfortable moisture levels at home using a natural process. No white dust and wet patches, and 99% less bacteria versus Ultrasonic Humidifiers.

What is Philips NanoCloud Technology?

Air humidified by Philips NanoCloud is therefore healthier, comfortable and refreshing to breathe¹.

How does it work: Unhealthy dry indoor air is drawn in, passed through a filter (also called a ‘wick’) that helps clean various impurities. Using natural methods, this filter then evaporates the clean, fresh water molecules into the room.

NanoCloud water molecules have too little volume to carry bacteria. This means: NanoCloud releases 99% less bacteria than an Ultrasonic Humidifier¹.

Secondly, NanoCloud molecules are distributed evenly throughout the room. The big water droplets of an Ultrasonic humidifier however fall nearby and create wet patches².

Thirdly, the droplets from Ultrasonic Humidifiers can contain impurities from the water reservoir. Minerals that form a sticky white dust over time. With the Philips NanoCloud Technology they remain inside.

Compared to standard ultrasonic technology (non warm mist), Philips NanoCloud technology emits up to 99% less natural bacteria into the air, as tested for 8 weeks in a 1m3 chamber, and certified in an independent laboratory benchmark study by Rabe HygieneConsult in June 2012 (Rabe Hygiene Consult 2101p_12.116).

Meet the NanoCloud Wick.

Inside the Philips NanoCloud Humidifier there is filter that we call a 'wick' : this honeycomb structure has been designed to create an effective surface that maximezes the intake and release of water.

Unhealthy dry indoor air is drawn in, passes through this wick, and cleansed of various impurities like pet hair, household dust, pollen and bacteria.

Hence, the wick with the honeycomb is structure accelerate the humidification process.
